Shell Shocked

I have had a bad week.

This week is the first week of my practical placement at another school for three weeks.  That is not a bad thing in itself but it is when you consider the entire three weeks is unpaid and I need to support my family and I on our meager savings (read credit card) and it will affect us for at least 6 - 8 weeks.

Then, on Tuesday (game day for my in person game) I get a call telling me that my best mate  had "taken a turn" and been delivered to hospital.  Yesterday, two days after the event we find out his turn was actually a stroke and in a more serious turn of events he gets air lifted to Hobart (around 350 Km's away) so he can be looked after by specialists.  He is only just above 40 and it has come as a massive shock.

Been a little shell shocked since then.  Worried for him, wondering what it is all about.  Have also had no time really to blog in any form this week so the readership on the main blog is down which is annoying.

Life can be a pain in the ass.  Just saying.  That is the view from my window today.
